If you get mad every time I call Democratic leadership out...do yourself a favor...and hit that "unfollow" button. If you think they've been doing "all they can," you are detached from reality.

Groundwater loss is global crisis. Aquifers take centuries to recharge, but we’ve drained them in a single human lifetime. A world without water isn’t unstable—it’s uninhabitable.

Groundwater is rapidly declining in the Colorado River Basin, satellite data show — Los Angeles Times
As the Colorado River’s reservoirs have declined, even larger amounts of groundwater have been drained from aquifers. Using satellite data, scientists have estimated the vast water losses.

The Atlantic sturgeon outlived dinosaurs—but may not survive dams, dead rivers, and the caviar trade. Of 26 sturgeon species, most are extinct or endangered. This isn’t a comeback. It’s an obituary written in slow motion.

One of the weirder baby bird encounters of the year, there were 3 ducklings who had lost their parents.

This mama mallard THOUGHT they were hers, but the ducklings avoided.

Here you can see a duckling eyeing me with a "what? She's not with me!" look. 🪶 🐣
